Is this also true of SCO Unix?  I installed my DOS partition before I
brought up my Unix partition, but it's listed as partition number 4.  An
extended DOS partition is number 3, and Unix is listed as number 1.
Attempts to mount the extended partition fail.

Do I merely have to change the order of my partition table?  Is there
any way to do that without zapping the hard disk?
